    Here is a picture of just the door handles from the pinto and maverick. The pinto handles are smaller, they have the oval thumb button (matches the probe gas door). I cut off the stock handle mounting pads so the handles set even closer to the body. If you have fat fingers they wont fit the handle :D The tops of the handles set more parallel to the ground too.

    looks nice. i was just reading an article in street rodder (3/05) on changing a fuel door. they also showed a gas cap from hagans street rod neccessities that looks like it has a button in the center. it allows you to fill the tank without removing the cap. simply push the nozzle through the center of the cap. like to see it after its painted:)

    Very nice Tom. You've got a one of a kind. Love the body work. Looks like pure custom muscle. Gotta admit though, you beat me to the grill lights. Got mine cut to fit and painted, just have'nt got it installed yet.
